ok a little update all have been planted in soil. all popped but 5 so out of 20 15 are a go. some are slow to fully pop tho only 2 shot signs of real progress rest are slow. my soil consists of used foxfarm ocean forest with fine coco hydroton clayballs perlite and vermaculite i added bone meal and sulphur to the mix. i got a littel worried and removed the seed shells that were loose. and replated the stems so that they didnt have to fight to break out of the soil for light.

can anyone gimme some hints if im doing this right?

Keep in mind that you have a lot of seeds started, there will be some males but even if you get 5 females they could be pretty cramped. I've found in my limited space that it doesn't make much difference in yield if i grow 2 plants or 5. Takes a bit longer with 2 though.

Not sure how much you are paying for your seeds, if anything...so it might be more cost effective to start fewer at a time.

On the other hand being able to take the best and toss the rest would be great...here's hopping you get 15 ladies :)

Cheers,

I'm excited about this!
I'm growing bubblegum too, and i really want to try scrog. I'll be looking forward to your progress.
Here's my girl.... shes sick :[

i usually wouldn't mess with the seed castings... its called the 'touch of death'. They need to fight for light so they can become strong. try not to worry.. if they couldnt make it through the soil then they provably would have made weak plants imho. But if you were gentle they should be fine :] good luck!

try to get some pics up with your phone.. i have a rubbish phone as well.
also, try not to fuss with them too much, i know it shard not to. also open your closet whenever its safe cause they'll like the fresh air.
